What are you listening to at the minute?

I am currently listening to the new Queens of the Stone Age and Biffy Clyro albums, Frightened Rabbit and Dinosaur Pile Up.

What other acts do you rate?

Kodaline, we got the opportunity to check them out at a couple of UK festivals this year and were blown away by the progress they have made across the water.

What’s the new record about?

This upcoming e.p. is about progression, both in life and musical terms.

Describe your music in one sentence.

Our music is up tempo guitar based rock, delivered with an infectious swagger that"ll bring you back for more.

What gigs coming up are you looking forward to?

We are really looking forward to playing Whelans on October 17 and Sweeneys, Dublin on October 18. We will also be touring the UK over the coming months, so there's plenty of gigs for us to look forward to!

What’s been your favourite musician’s moment so far?

My favourite musician's moment has to be being invited backstage by the Foo Fighters at Reading 2012. This band are a huge influence on the Scenes and being able to get advice from a musical icon like Dave Grohl is something that I'll never forget!

What next?

Our debut album will be released in 2014. I'm currently enjoying the downtime before global dominance and playboy mansion guestlisting ensues!
